I'll make it even more complicated: it isn't just a matter of whether the screen reader (say Jaws) can read your code. The question will become can the reader effectively make every feature and function usable by the user. And what will be the technical definition of usable by the user -- will it be considered usable even if it takes a half an hour and seven tries? -- or does it have to be *as* usable as the sighted experience? -- and I don't even want to go there :).

Where is the responsibility of the Screen Readers vs. the responsibility of the code creator/content creators? Who do you sue? The ramp builder or the wheelchair builder? I think we have a problem that the ramp technology is not keeping up with the wheelchairs. Of course what Kamen did was to disregard the ramps completely and just build a wheelchair that never needed a ramp. hmmm? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
